Application February 28 1 Claim.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a combination coat and hood for rain Wear. I

More specifically, the invention proposes the 15 construction of a coat and hood characterized by a coat constructed of water proof material and having a hood also constructed of water proof material and attached to the inside of said coat in such fashion that the hood may be extended from the coat and engaged over ones hat to protect same during rainy weather.

Still further it is proposed to form the back of the hood with a downwardly extending portion which is adapted to be securely attached to the back of the coat below the neck opening so that the hood may be extended from the neck opening or engaged into the coat and extend down along the back thereof when not in use.

Another object of this invention is to provide a 20 means for holding the hood in position when it is extended into the coat.

Still further it is proposed to provide the downwardly extending portion of the hood with snap fasteners which may be engaged with complementary snap fasteners attached to the back of the coat below the neck opening for releasably holding the hood in position thereon.

Another object of the invention is to provide an auxiliary strip which is attached to the back 30 of the coat below the neck opening and to. which the downwardly extending portion of the hood is attached so that when the hood is extended from the coat it will be positioned upon the outside of the collar to prevent the water from running off the hood and entering the inside of the coat.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended 40 claim in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

(cm-s4) Fig. 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-45 of Fig. 5. l

. Fig.7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 but illustrating the folded condition of the parts.

- Y The combination coat and hood for rain wear, 5 according to this invention, comprises a coat ID of water proof material having a neck opening II.

A hood it, also of water proof material, has a downwardly extending portion 2 at its rear which is attached to the back of the coat below 10 the neck opening I I so that the hood may be extended from the neck opening and engaged over ones head to protect the same during rainy weather, or' the hood may be folded into said coat and extended along the back thereof when not in use.

The coat I9 is constructed of oiled silk or other similar water proof material and is of conventional construction, having sleeves I3, a collar I4 attached to the edge of the neck opening I I, and an open front side Ill which is adapted to be closed by buttons I5.

The hood I2 is also constructed of oiled silk or other similar material. The downwardly extending portion I2 which is formed at the rear of the hood I2 is securely attached to the back of the coat by a line of stitches I6.

A means is provided for holding the hood in position within the coat when it is not in use and comprises a strip of material I! which is seciu'ely attached at its ends I! to the back of the coat by means of stitches IS. The intermediate portion of the strip I! together with the back face of the back of the coat III forms a space into which the top end of the hood I2 is to be engaged. 5 The back of the hood i2 is formed with a snap fastener I9 which is adapted to engage a complementary snap fastener 26 attached to the adjacent face of the strip II. Thus when the hood I2 is not in use it may be extended downward into 40 the coat I0 and have its top end inserted between the adjacent faces of the back of the coat Iii and the strip IT. The snap fastener I9 may be engaged with the snap fastener 29 for fixedly holding the hood in a fixed position.

According to the modification shown in Fig. 4 the downwardly extending portion I2 of the hood I2 is formed with a plurality of snap fastener elements 2I' which are to be engaged with complementary snap fastener elements 22 attached to the back of the coat I0 below the neck opening I I. According to this modification when the hood I2 is not in use the snap fasteners 2| and 22' may be disengaged to remove the hood 55 [2' from the coat l0 instead of folding it downwards as shown in the previous form.

According to the modification shown in Figs. 5-7 the coat 2!] is formed with a neck opening 2|, and a means is provided for attaching the hood 22 to the coat 20 in such a manner that the downwardly extending portion 22 of the hood 22 will be located outside of the collar on the coat 20 to prevent the water which runs from the hood 22 from passing into the neck opening 2|. This means comprises an auxiliary strip 23 which is attached at one of its edges 23 to the back of the coat 20 below the neck opening 2| by means of a line of stitches 24. The other edge portion 23 of the auxiliary strip 23 is attached to the downwardly extending portion 22 of the hood 22 by a line of stitches 25. When the hood 22 is extended for engagement over a hat the auxiliary strip 23 will engage over the collar of the coat 20 and the downwardly extending portion 22 of the hood will be located on the outer side of the coat 2!] for directingthe Water which runs from the top of the hood 22 away from the neck opening 2|.

In Fig. 7 the auxiliary strip 23 is shown extended into the coat 20 and the hood 22 is adapted to be bent in half and inserted into the space between the adjacent faces of the auxiliary strip 23 and the back of the coat 20.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United 7 States Letters Patent is:

In a combination coat and hood for rain wear, a coat of water proof material having a neck opening with a collar, an auxiliary strip having its top edge portion attached to the interior of said coat below said collar requiring a fold adjacent said point of attachment when the bottom edge of said strip is extended from said neck opening and bent over said collar, and a hood of water proof material having a downwardly extending back edge portion on the bottom, the inner face of which is in face contact with and attached to the outer face of the bottom edge portion of said auxiliary strip.
